Can I Make a Difference? Efficacy, Employment, and Disability
Political efficacy is a widely studied phenomenon and an important predictor of political participation, but little is known about the political efficacy of the millions of people with disabilities in the United States. This paper reports the results of a nationally representative telephone survey of 1,240 people—stratified to include 700 people with disabilities—following the November 1998 elections. Several measures of efficacy that help predic…

Disability and Institutional Change: A Human Variation Perspective on Overcoming Oppression
For at least three decades, disability rights activists have challenged exclusionary and stigmatizing social processes that constrain people with disabilities, an effort highlighted by the 1990 enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act. However, all environmental barriers to participation by people with disabilities may not be eliminated by a policy strategy that focuses on discrimination and fails to address many forms of oppression that …
The Americans With Disabilities Act: Does It Secure the Fundamental Right to Vote
People with disabilities encounter substantial barriers to voting. Narrow interpretations by regulatory agencies and the courts indicate that the Americans With Disabilities Act will not be able to remove these barriers. Additional policies will be necessary to overcome the structural impediments to exercising the fundamental right to vote
The Americans With Disabilities Act as Engine of Social Change: Models of Disability and the Potential of a Civil Rights Approach
The Americans With Disabilities Act, based on the civil rights/minority group and independent living models of disability, may enhance access to health care, personal assistance, employment, the electoral process, and smoke‐free environments for people with disabilities. However, this essential law cannot resolve these key issues. Supplemental theoretical and policy approaches will be necessary to promote fundamental change

The Disability Voice in American Politics: Political Participation of People With Disabilities in the 1994 Election
The health of a democracy depends on citizen involvement in political life. Unfortunately, not all citizens have an equal voice in American governance. Previous research has demonstrated that individual factors such as higher levels of educational attainment and income (as well as institutional factors and political context) are associated with higher levels of participation, but extant research does not consider the role of disability in affecti…
Influences on the Political Participation of People With Disabilities: The Role of Individual and Elite Factors in 1984 and 1986
While Americans with disabilities comprise the largest minority group in American politics, we know very little about the individual level determinants of political activity among this neglected part of the American polity In this analysis, we use data collected by Louis Harris and Associates during the 1984 and 1986 elections to begin to understand more fully the determinants of political participation among people with disabilities. We find tha…
The Effect of Gender and Race on the Political Participation of People With Disabilities in the 1994 Mid-Term Election
Research on voter turnout has uncovered important differences in the voting patterns of subgroups of the American polity. Here, we report an analysis of the 1994 Current Population Survey-Voter Supplement, indicating that once demographic factors such as income and educational attainment are controlled for, men with disabilities are less likely to register than are women with disabilities and nondisabled persons, while women with disabilities are…

Power to People with Disabilities: Empowerment issues in employment programming
A view of empowerment that focuses exclusively or primarily on increasing the personal or individual power of people with disabilities violates the spirit of the disability rights movement which is a political movement organizing for social change. A view of empowerment more in keeping with the political organizing and protest that generated interest in empowerment focuses on the acquisition of social forms of power, especially power with which i…
Disabled Women and Public Policy: Where We've Been, Where We're Going
Disability as Human Variation: Implications for Policy
The impact of any disability policy depends on the conceptual model of disability upon which that policy rests. For the past quarter century of disability policymaking, culminating in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the dominant paradigm of disability has been a minority group model. That model identifies discrimination as the primary barrier facing people with disabilities in their desire for full social participation…

Setting an Employment Agenda: A Demonstration with the Epilepsy Foundation of America
The Epilepsy Foundation of America (EFA) participated in the National Agenda for Employment of People with Disabilities project, co-sponsored by the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities and the Arkansas Research and Training Center in Vocational Rehabilitation. The organizational agenda creation process involves three phases: (a) collection of consumer data regarding employment concerns, (b) discussion of the implicatio…
Why Study Disability Policy
Development and validation of a community concerns report method
Although survey research and needs assessment methods have been applied in communities, few systematic and practical methods for structuring the involvement of neighbors in community improvement are available. Systematic procedures for identifying perceived strengths and problems of a locality might be used by neighborhood improvement associations, block organizations, and other citizen groups to set local agendas for community action. The develo…
